johnjmillerphotography.zenfolio.com/ Full photo of the Ouerbacker Mansion below in the comments: Excerpt from an article in the Courier Journal: It was built in the 1860s and was used for a tax business for about 70 years, starting in the 1930s. It was taken over by the city because of unpaid taxes and has been included for the last two years on the Louisville Historical Leagues list of most endangered properties. The mansion is named for a prominent coffee merchant, Samuel Ouerbacker (1841-1922), who lived there. Ouerbacker was the son-in-law of Alexander Gilmore (1826-1891), a steamboat captain who also lived there. For part of the 1920s and 1930s, it also was the home of the Rev. George C. Clement, a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. The Louisville & Jefferson County Landbank Authority's request for proposals says that it is "one of the relatively few remaining examples of the Richardsonian Romanesque style of architecture" in the region and that the "distinguished Louisville architectural firm of Clarke and Loomis designed the buildings facade." The wrap-around facade is thought to have been added later, Wiser said. Arthur Loomis also designed other well-known Louisville buildings, including the Conrad-Caldwell house on St. James Court in Old Louisville, the original University of Louisville Medical School building on Chestnut Street and the original J. B. Speed Art Museum building.--

Built in 1939. Added to the National Register of Historic Places 2013. Currently under restoration. That concrete above the window seems a little less faded than the rest because there was once a jazzy neon and bulb sign that hung there. See Spencer's photo here.
